S3 you buy it because it looks the part and vorsprung durch so should be good right. You get it home, live with it for a couple of weeks then it starts. You start to hear noises, rattles, grunts n groans all kinds of air noises. Lets find out what this is open bonnet nice engine covers that looks neat, remove them hoping your gony find something simple thats came loose, **** not a chance its a set of bagpipes you find hoses n cables everywhere. You **** about for uncountable hours checking n replacing sensors n hoses that dont actually seem to serve any purpose most of the time but something seems to have worked so that will do for now. Lets see if we can find out whats rattling below now, no psobs here surely jack it up and here we go,its just as bad as up above bushes everywhere, the noises from the suspension on these things can only be likend to a shopping trolley with a wonky wheel, so off you go again replacing everything. By now your well pist off and nearly skint and wondering do i just get the mathes out and do the decent thing and put it out its misery, lets face it if it was an animal youd get it put down. But not at all by now your determined you will get this car to be and run the way you want it to, with teeth gritted you persivere you will tame the beast yes you will. Then just as you start to see the light your door sensors start playing up, your pixels go dead and the rattles start all over again aaaarrrggghhhhh. Conclusion for me is its got absolutely nowt to do with cars, tuning your wheels absoluteley nowt, its now a personal BATTLE between you and this lump of metal that should have been the best made car youve had now that you have moved on from flying jap machines and looking for a bit of refinement, big mistake your now in the battle of your life and will fight to the death. I wondered when i bought this what i would keep in all the storage pockets, problem solved overalls, spanners and socket sets. Well boys thats my christmas story whats your theorys and experiance theres allways something driving us nuts with s3s, is this maybe a conspiracy britain germany lol sorry no offence meant just a bit of a pun
